White Male Vote Critical For Democrats

Obama lost in NY. But Guess what? Obama got zero votes in Harlem. There were 60 such precincts of NY state where Obama's vote counts were zero. Can you believe that? I am not making this up; check with NY Times. In New Hempshire, Obama's votes were counted as Hillary's votes. Again, Check with NY Times. A great way to win! I wonder why we blame the Republicans? I saw the other day, Bill Clinton was bragging on CNN that Hillary beat Obama in Harlem.

once again we have to put up with ridiculous hunting photo ops, flagwaving at nascar, contrived sports team allegiances, jet airplane rides, and what have you. the last gasps of losing democrats are drawn in such stereotypical air. the way to appeal to white men is to tell them that their grasping jingoist rich man politics has driven this country into the ground and it's their fault. tell them to quit being sports simpletons and driving pig trucks. and tell them to quit bawling and whining like their little wimp boys rush and hannity. just tell them everyone else hates them for their baseless superiority act and to shape up if they expect to lead and get taken seriously. and their war is in the toilet and they will die with it's stain. that way you can really talk about change without being a lying hypocrite.
obviously i totally reject identification as an american white male. i am a humanist intellectual dedicated to the destruction of the nation-state as a human institution. i don't work for anybody. i don't "serve" anybody. i expect the president to work for me. i believe the individual is above the state. there is absolutely no reason why i should be participating in any of this at all. except, it's really, really important for me to distance myself from a perjorative race-sex identity that has become a joke. i'm surprised they didn't show homer simpson. i also reject the simplistic patronizing reduction of the issue to who i want for my boss, as well as the matthews condescension: who i want to drink beer with. i know who and what the president is and i don't need to simplify that to understand what's involved. i want especially to emphasize that i don't need the likes of fox news to protect my delicate tender sensibilities from Rev Wright's challenging critique of american foreign policy. i'm not a right-wing wimp. i am delighted that rev wright has contributed to the discussion. i'm not a little white boy who runs to momma when REAL change hits the radar.

I'm 54 years of age-Black Male-U.S Citizen-Baptist-As a Black Man ive never been a terroist-Can't own a gun really in America- States have the right to stripe me of my right to work or vote FELONY FOR ANY CRIME- I died sooner then any other American T/F?- Profiled where ever i go T/F?- Do any of you know me or is it just a skin thing Y/N? All of these thing have been created by white men for me to fail telling the truth Y/N? If your a white man and you think what is being done to me is wrong thank you for voting Obama- Now if you are the other-lets see there are 32 million Black People in america-2 million Black men locked behind bars without the hope of having any kind of normal life ever. Black woman and children make up what per the count 60 per cent are females! What happens to the count when me the black male baby boomer leaves the earth-who many Black men will there be in the next twenty years? EDUCATED WHITE PEOPLE PLEASE WHO WENT TO COLLEGE ISN'T THIS SLOW GENOCIDE OF THE BLACK PEOPLE?

Maybe its time for Obama to run against racism. Instead of avoiding the issue maybe he should confront it head on. Instead of pretending he can hang out with guys in the VFW, maybe he should start the conversation about how they really feel about a black man being their president. An maybe he should tell them how he feels about being a black man that wants to lead all of America.

There is no question he has the intelligence, the character and the voice to do this. Does he have the courage to take this kind of a risk?

I don't think he has a choice. Whether you want to blame the media, or Pastor Wright, or Bill and Hillary, race is now part of the discussion. Obama can't continue as the "race-less" candidate. These white men are not going to be talked out of thinking Obama as black. What they might be talked into is why this particular black man would be the best president for all of us.

Why, oh why is Jeff Foxworthy the picture here? Why not Ace Frehley? Donald Trump? Richard Simmons?

The white male vote is not monolithic. We are a diverse group of total nutcases.

Obama often refers to Wright as being "like an old uncle, who sometimes says things I don't agree with." Wright is not Obama"s "uncle" " a person born into a blood relationship " but a man he has cultivated for decades as a close friend, mentor and adviser. I don't want a boss with hate in his heart because it will come out when things don't go his way.

HuffPost's Pick

There's a reason why so many affluent white males are going for Obama. As one who fits that demographic, I think it's because he is objectively the best leader. Obama's calm, measured, sensible, thoughtful approach is attractive. Affluent white men don't have the same level of race-gender influence in making their decision.

One practical business question I have asked myself and others: Who would you rather have as your boss - Obama, Hillary or McCain?

I'd personally rank them in that order. I'd guess that if Obama was my boss that thinking outside the box would be encouraged, and I'd be in an organization that rewarded achievement. Having Hillary as a boss might be exciting and fast-paced, but one could easily get lost in the shuffle and there would be a lot of energy applied to subterfuge and damage control. I tend to think that working for McCain would pretty much stink, as it would be pretty top-down and his hot head would surface often enough to make a lot of days miserable.

Other questions to ask would be, which of the three would you rather have as CEO of the company you work for? Leading your local school board? As your local mayor? Running your local hospital?

Obama is a leader. A natural-born leader. That's why he gets the affluent white male vote.

More attempts by the Obamanation and the media in the tank with them to portray anone who dares vote for Clinton as an uneducted redneck.

Pennsylvania Democrats are you listening? Do you hear what they think of you?

If the white male vote is critical for the Demorats to win, then it seems to me we would not want to put forth a candidate that could quite possibly alienate this group. I don't want to jump to conclusions as it relates to Obamas latest troubles with his pastor's remarks, but lets' be honest, they were not remarks that would make anyone feel comfortable including me and I'm a black woman. This may be exactly the reason the superdelegates were created--to help determine the candidate who in the end will have the best chance of being elected. I'm not casting aspersions on Obama, but circumstances surrounding his deep connection to this person who does not appear to be as unifying a force as one would typically think a pastor would be, is our new reality in this circumstance. I really don't think that had this information been available from the start, people would have reacted to him in the same way. It's too bad because there appears to be an element of deception here, which is now raising doubts in the minds of many people.

I guess what Huffington Post is trying to imply with the Jeff Foxworthy photo, is that rednecks are the ones for Obama to get. Yep, you deffinity have to get the "faith over facts crowd" and the "rednecks" because, well you know.

I am an older, white, registered Independent, and I was not a Clinton or Obama supporter. Personally, I wanted Biden, Dodd or Edwards to get the nomination, but since that didn't happen I will vote for whoever gets the nomination just to try to keep another RepubliCON out of the White House.

No matter how you feel about either candidate, now is the time we need to all PULL TOGETHER to make sure McSame is defeated. Don't waste your vote on a 3rd party candidate. A "protest" vote for a 3rd party candidate may make you feel a little better, but it really doesn't do you one damn bit of good. It's time for the people to TAKE AMERICA BACK!

Also, if you currently have a RepubliCON Senator or Representative you need to work to make sure they are defeated so we can have a Democratic super majority in both houses of Congress.

Yes, in case anyone forgot, the dominant half of the majority of Americans (which controls a disproportionately larger chunk of the electoral college) is an important voting block.

R U smarter than a fifth grader?

How funny to post a picture of THIS white male! Foxworthy is a die-hard Republican. If HE is the missing piece of the puzzle for the Dems, then things are more hopeless than I thought.

The title should be "working class White male vote critical for Democrats. "The affluent white males all seem to be going for Obama. The very people that the Democratic leadership seems to despise are the ones they now need. How ironic. Maybe they could ask Donna Brazile for advice. I hear that she is an expert in this area.
